Why
does learning a new job feel so tough sometimes? I had a pretty good
day but made a lot of little mistakes that just had me questioning
why I made this change in the first place. I wish I could replace my
new working environment with my old one and add in the easy flow of
my old job. I hate feeling like I'm floundering. It isn't a very
good feeling.
I
was pretty well spent after my shift today and while I could have
gone home to fix something I was craving veggies, but not a salad.
Mongolian sounded good so I took myself out to dinner.
Last
night I attended a Christmas program at
my friend Howard's church after work. It
was a mix of Charlie Brown's Christmas, the Grinch, and it also had a
little bit of
Ebenezer Scrooge. It was really cute and the kids did a fabulous job.
Howard was the narrator and he also did a fabulous job. By
the time I left it was snowing sideways
so I was eager to get my grocery shopping and get
home for the evening before the roads
got bad. Surprisingly enough I didn't have any snow to shovel
this morning and by the time I had to go to work the roads we're just
fine. There was some people to the north of us that had some power
outage hopefully that gets itself resolved soon. I am not a fan of
winter weather!
I
ended up eating out two nights in a row. I am happy to report that
it is ALL TRACKED! I started tracking with the WW app on Sunday and
counting Smart Points. I am finding the points for most foods I eat
didn't change. A few went up and a few went down. Yesterday I used
some of my WPPA but today I have two DPA left. I did the best I
could estimating my Mongolian using the app. I have been taking my
food to work and I plan to keep that up this week. I also looked up
some new recipes to try. I made minestrone soup this morning and was
able to get three servings from my pot with a SP value of 6.
The
hardest part is the sugar/sweets craving. I'm eating a bit of extra
fruit to combat my sweet tooth. At work this afternoon I was feeling
the need for “something” but I had no idea what something I
wanted. I was able to push past the craving and drank a lot of
water.
I'm
hoping that I can keep myself on track and stay diligent to this new
program and my commitment to being re-focused again. It takes a lot
of work to look up the SP on every food these days. But I'm going to
do it.
Oh,
one positive from today, I walked to the coffee shop during my
workout hour today and only took $2 with me. That way even if I
wanted a yummy ginger cookie from Flying M, I didn't have enough moey
to buy one. It was good thinking as they DID have the cookies there.
I was happy with my decision on how to tackle this teptation.
Oh,
another positive note, Dawny sent me a new WW tracker. Yeah!
